This is the fifth unit for Royal Navy, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.
Pack include a multiskin unit based on HMS Warspite, with three skins, showing the battleship with two different camouflage schemes, and in war gray.
https://i.ibb.co/fd26RfLv/VD-Warspite-Recap.jpg
Based on Wise's Warspite, with assistance of Kovall, 3d updated using SHV model and parts and a lot of details (portholes, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders...) and some details from Gerome73 and The_Frog, including the scout plane and the reworked library.

CREDITS
For this 2025 version:
Thanks to Wise and Ubisoft for original model.
Special thanks to flush deck for new fantastic textures, for ship library and gunners\crew also!
Huge thanks to the_frog for let me use his wonderful gun's library, a revised version is included in this pack, for the scout plane and for some details and crew added to the model! Thanks to Gerome73 for some model's details too.
Thanks to Sphere, who give me permissions to include and modify his searchlights mod (please read original readme included).
Thanks also to Anvar1061 for some suggestions about those searchlights and about optimize .eqp files.
Thanks to Fifi for suggestions related with guns' reflections and help with hull's .zon configuration.
Original mod by Wise, with credits "Thanks very much for the assistance to my companion-adherent KOVALL, and also SKWAS(S3D),PRIVATEER,manufacturers UBISOFT,AUTODESK,Adobe Systems Incorporated(PHOTOSHOP)"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod replace all previous versions =)
--- Pathetic nostalgic moment ---
In 2008, my FIRST modded military unit (escluding a beta for Aquila carrier, really bugged and soon replaced), after some ocean liners models (Aquitania, Queen Mary...), was a HMS Warspite. In fact, this was something really simple, a Revenge hull with some modified parts (sternwalk, different casemates configuration) and Nelson's conning tower.

We are in 2025, and my today's release is, once again, HMS Warspite's model. And this, and dozens of other mods, exists thanks to the old one, thanks to SubSim community's help, thanks to a lot of good friends who, in latest 18 years, helped me with every challenge i faced in order to mod, and have fun with mod, with not so great models, but a lot of great time spent in this.
Some of their names are into credits of all the ships in the shipyard, some aren't included because they just gave me an idea, an inspiration, a suggestion.
This is for all the "Co." in VonDos & Co.
Thank you so much!!!
Best regards,
Vd
